Abstract
Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) is a rare and life-threatening skin reaction that can quickly lead to dehydration and infection. TEN is perhaps the most formidable disease encountered by dermatologists, and it remains as puzzling a disorder as it was when described by Lyell. Etoricoxib is a medication that has been associated with TEN. The ideal medical management of TEN should be multidisciplinary and requires early diagnosis and withdrawal of suspected/causative drug(s), supportive care, and specific therapy. Here we present a case of Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis due to Etoricoxib in an immune-compromised patient.
